Your Coordinator of Community Services (CCS) responsibilities:
Your Coordinator of Community Services (CCS) is there to support you to:
● Make your own decisions,
● Stay healthy and safe,
● Be a part of the community, and
● Have the life you want.
Your CCS will:
1. Check to see what programs you are eligible for.
2. Complete and send applications, reports, your PCP, and other information to the DDA.
3. Help develop your PCP with you and your team.
4. Help you and your team figure out what your needs are.
5. Help you and your team decide on the best services and supports for you. This includes
DDA services and support from other places.
6. Make sure you are happy with your services and that your needs are being met.
If you self-direct your services, your CCS will also:
1. Work with you and your team to develop a budget that will support what is in your PCP.
2. Send your PCP to the DDA for review and approval.
3. Send your budget to your FMCS agency.
4. Help you and your team learn more about Support Broker and FMCS supports.
5. Help you set up meetings to change your PCP or budget when needed.
6. Help you keep track of your spending to be sure you have enough money in your budget
to pay for your services all year.
Where else can you go for support?
There are places to go for services and supports in addition to the DDA.
There are also other guides and information that could help you.
These are called resources.
Everyone has the right to access community, State, and federal resources. You might want to
check out other resources if:
● You get DDA services but could use other kinds of support,
● You are waiting for DDA services, or
● You are not eligible for DDA services.

understand these resources.
